Thanks for looking, Fern. Walby certainly sounds like a variation on Walsby - it's the gentleman part that's surprising ! Cheers, Malcolm

Thanks, Fern I'd really appreciate a check for CLIFFORD (perhaps John, or others), MYERS (John/James) and FINNETT/FINNET/FOINET etc. Thanks so much. Sue (in NZ)

Hi Sue, 1811 John Clifford Cottages, Bath Row Brickmaker William Myers Homerton Street Gentleman 1821 Widow Clifford Tryor Place Poor 1 male and 3 females also living in the household. No sign of any of the other surnames you gave me but I hopw these help. Fern.

Hi Fern Thanks for the kind offer...Mine is a long shot too....Trying to trace a Thomas Knott..was deceased by 1854...so could well have been head then... Thanks Leeanne

Hi Leeanne, Only found him 1821 no one with that surname in 1811. Thomas Knott Fox Lane Bricklayer 7 males and 4 females also living in the household Hope this helps. Fern.

Thank you Fern, That's lovely....it is the only bit of good luck I have had....So do you know if their are any census material for that time? Need to tie him to William.. Thanks Leeanne

Fern, could you look up any Eveson/Evison/Everson to see if you can find any with Joseph as the head. 1811 is probably too early but he may well be there in the 1821. Thanks a 1,000,000! Alan

Hi Leeanne, Parish Returns were like and done before Census Returns (I hope I'm right on that) they only list head of the houshold, where they lived and very rarely they listed the family members and it was up to the Parish to conduct them. This is what I can remember other people saying I'm not 100% right about it. The best chance to find out any information about William is if you find marriage records, birth records and death records at the churches in Hackney. I hope that helps. Fern.

Hi John, I only find 1 Hallett but it wasn't Richard. 1821 John Hallett Tryor Place Fishmonger 5 males and 5 females also living in the household. I hope this helps. Fern.

Hi Alan, No sign of any Eveson or anything similar the nearest I found was Everton. Let me know if you want any details for any Evertons. Fern.

Hello Fern looking for the name BISHRY any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Irene

Hi Fern I am trying to find my g.g.grandfather. All I know is that his surname is SYRETT and his son was born in Hackney. Any info you can find (when time permits) will be much appreciated. Regards......Alice

Hi Irene, No sign of any Bishry sorry. Fern. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Alice, No sign of any Syrett, sorry, but there was a lady who also asked me to look up that surname. Might be worth contacting her as it is an uncommon surname. Her name is Penny Eves she can be found on page 2 of this thread, just click on her name and you can send her a message. Best of luck. Fern.

Hi Fern. My apologies for wasting your time. Penny Eves is my daughter. She forgot to tell me that she was contacting you about our SYRETT ancestor, and I forgot to tell her that I was going to send you a message. First time it has ever happened and hopefully it will be the last!!! Please forgive me. Alice

Thanks for my Clifford & Myers info, Fern. I've only just had time to get back onto the site to check threads. The gentleman won't be mine, I'm sure, but the poor ones might be! I'll have to look up thoses addresses now. Sue (in NZ)

Thank you Fern for looking for my Bishry Family. It was very kind of you. Many thanks Irene
